Solution

Go to System Settings>Keyboard Choose shortcuts and custom shortcut and press the + button The command to run is gnome-system-monitor

There's no good list as far as I know. The other place to set hotkeys, or see what keyboard commands there are is to use the compizconfig settings manager (ccsm; install with apt-get or software manager). There are a bunch of plugins that you can tweak. To see what the application is that you want to run, look in /usr/share/applications for the .desktop file and look at their properties for the command line to run.
